= = = Daniel Manz = = = |
Daniel Manz (born September 12, 1987 in Kempten im Allgäu, Bavaria) is a German taekwondo practitioner. He won a silver medal for the 68 kg division at the 2008 European Taekwondo Championships in Rome, Italy. Manz is also the husband of two-time Olympic taekwondo jin Sümeyye Gülec. |
Manz qualified for the men's 68 kg class at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after placing second from the European Qualification Tournament in Istanbul, Turkey. He defeated Kyrgyzstan's Rasul Abduraim in the preliminary round of sixteen, before losing out the quarterfinal match to U.S. taekwondo jin Mark López, with a score of 1–3. Because his opponent advanced further into the final match, Manz took advantage of the repechage round by defeating Afghanistan's Nesar Ahmad Bahave. He progressed to the bronze medal match, but narrowly lost the medal to Chinese Taipei's Sung Yu-Chi, with a sudden death score of 3–4. |

= = = Shigenosuke Ushio = = = |
Ushio was born in Shimane Prefecture. After his graduation in 1907 from the law school of Tokyo Imperial University with a major in constitutional law, he entered the Home Ministry. He rose rapidly within the ministry, serving as Bureau Director for Health and Welfare, and Bureau Director for Local Affairs. In 1928, he became Vice-Minister. In 1931, he was appointed under-secretary for the House of Peers. In 1932, he returned to the Home Ministry as Vice-Minister, overseeing civil service appointment reforms, and enforcement of laws aimed at reducing election fraud issues. |
He was appointed simultaneously Home Minister and interim Education Minister in 1935 under the Kōki Hirota administration. Ushio was selected for his opposition to the military, lack of political party ties and noted strength at bureaucratic innovation and reform, and for these same reasons his appointment came under criticism from many vested interests. |
In 1938, Ushio was made a member of the Privy Council, and in 1946 became the final Vice-Chairman of the Privy Council before that body was dissolved by order of the American occupation authorities. Ushio was chairman of a committee of thirteen councilors assigned to review and comment on the new post-war Constitution of Japan. |

= = = Astrid Noack = = = |
Astrid Noack (30 January 1888 – 26 December 1954) was a Danish sculptor who specialized in the human figure, creating works such as the statue of Anna Ancher in Skagen, and her "Standing Woman" which was included in the Danish Culture Canon. |
Noack was born in Ribe, the daughter of merchant Johan Peter N. (1831-1911) og Johanne Metdine Barkentin (1850-1913). Ugift. She was the sister of theologian Carl Wulff Noack. In 1902 Noack went to Copenhagen where she earned a living painting porcelain at the Aluminia faience factory. She then attended Vallekilde Folk High School, specializing in sculpture and qualifying as an apprentice in 1910. She continued her studies there under Ivar Bentsen who exerted a considerable influence on her, together with other artists, especially Joakim Skovgaard, from the folk high school environment. In collaboration with Skovgaard, she helped to decorate the ceiling of Viborg Cathedral (1948) working as a wood carver. There she also met Niels Larsen Stevns and Arne Lofthus, both of whom encouraged her to work independently as a sculptor. |
In 1920, on a grant, Noack went to Paris which at the time was the focus of the most significant trends in sculpture. She met Adam Fischer who played an important part in her development and in conveying French ideas to Scandinavia. She also befriended Lena Börjeson who had founded the Académie Scandinave free school of sculpture which arranged exhibitions and informal instruction. She studied French Gothic sculpture with the French sculptor Jean Osouf until in 1926 she became a pupil of Fischer and of the French sculptors Charles Despiau and Paul Cornet who helped her to develop her own style. She was the only women to benefit from the French approach to Classical Modernism. |
After 12 years in Paris, Noack returned to Copenhagen in 1932 as a result of currency restrictions. She exhibited at the Grønningen, slowly gaining recognition. Between 1936 and 1950, she lived and worked in a courtyard building Rådmandsgade 34 in Nørrebro. |
She produced many busts, including some of children. Among her most notable creations are "Holtepigen" (1937) in French limestone, "Stående Kvinde" (1942) in teak, her statue of Anna Ancher (1939) for the garden of Skagens Museum and "Det korsfæstede Menneske" (1945), an unusual depiction of Christ's crucifixion. |
Noack's sculptures are inspired by contemporary French art. Expressing an intense relationship between life and art, they focus on the human figure, often simply standing, sitting or kneeling. At a time when mankind was frequently treated with contempt, Noack strove to demonstrate her faith and trust in the human community. Her works are sincere, emanating an almost pious hope that people would again come together. |
Noack exhibited frequently, not just in Denmark but in Paris, Budapest, Helsinki and Rome. In 1955, Kunstforeningen arranged a large retrospective exhibition, as did Holstebro Art Museum in 1988. |
Noack was awarded the Eckersberg Medal in 1940 and the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1954. |
= = = Leutkirch station = = = |
Leutkirch station is the station of the town of Leutkirch im Allgäu in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station and has two platform tracks. The station is located on the network of the "Bodensee-Oberschwaben Verkehrsverbund" (Lake Constance-Upper Swabia Transport Association, "bodo") and belongs to fare zone 68. The address of the station is Bahnhof 1. |
The station was opened on 1 September 1872 as the terminus of the Württemberg Allgäu Railway. On 14 August 1874, with the opening of the line to Isny, it became a through station. In preparation for the opening of the line to Memmingen on 2 October 1889 when Leutkirch became a railway junction, the current station building was built between the diverging tracks. |
The station was opened on 1 September 1872 as a terminus with the opening of the Kißlegg to Leutkirch section of the Württemberg Allgäu Railway. The temporary station building was opened with a floor area of 27 × 10 metres. The wooden, one-storey building had rooms for the post office, railway service rooms and two waiting rooms. |
On 14 August 1874, it became a through station with the opening of line to Isny. In preparation for the opening of the line to Memmingen on 2 October 1889 when Leutkirch became a railway junction, the current station building was built as a “wedge station” (German: Keilbahnhof) between the diverging tracks. |
Leutkirch became a through station again on 31 December 2001 when the line to Isny was closed. The station building is listed as a historical monument and was restored between 2011 and 2012. The costs involved were financed by the town and a cooperative of 600 citizens who provided €1 million. The town station was declared as the "Monument of the Month” in April 2012 by the Memorial Foundation of Baden-Württemberg. |
On 27 May 1979, the first express train was introduced on the Munich–Memmingen–Lindau route. A pair of trains (numbered 366/367) ran from Munich via Lindau and Zürich Airport to Milan, stopping in Wangen and Leutkirch. The express train was formed of a class 218 locomotive hauling modern carriages, but it was withdrawn in May 1982. Since the mid-1980s, a EuroCity service has operated on line 88 on the Munich–Zürich route through the station without stopping; they only stop between Buchloe and Lindau in Memmingen. |
Leutkirch is served today by about 30 trains a day operated by DB Regio. Every two hours regional trains from Memmingen to Aulendorf stop in Leutkirch. The route is operated with Class 650 railcars. During peak hours trains there are additional services from Kißlegg to Leutkirch, sometimes starting in Wangen or Aichstetten. Thus between Leutkirch and Kißlegg there is an hourly service during the peak. Additionally Leutkirch is served each day by a pair of Regional-Express trains operating on the Memmingen–Lindau route. |
= = = 2013 RFL Championship season results = = = |
This is a list of the 2013 RFL Championship season results. The Championship is the second-tier rugby league competition in the United Kingdom. The 2013 season started on 31 January and ends on 29 September with the Grand Final at Leigh Sports Village in Leigh, Greater Manchester, which replaces the previous venue of the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington. 2013 is the first season to consist of a 14-team division, with the league expanding from 10 teams following the promotion of the top 4 teams from the 2012 Championship 1 season, Barrow Raiders, Doncaster, Whitehaven and Workington Town. |
The 2013 season consists of two stages. The regular season was played over 26 round-robin fixtures, in which each of the fourteen teams involved in the competition played each other once at home and once away. In the Championship, a win was worth three points in the table, a draw worth two points apiece, and a loss by 12 points or less during the game earned one bonus point. Defeats by more than 12 points yielded no points. |
The Championship will be decided through the second stage of the season, the play-offs, which has been re-structured following the expansion. The play-offs now adopts the 8-team play-off, similar to what is used in the Super League with the top eight teams in the table contest to play in the Grand Final, the winners of which will be crowned champions. A decision whether to use the club-call system, as used in Super League, will be taken during the regular season. |
The play-offs will commence following the conclusion of the regular season and includes the top eight sides from the league and uses a top 8 play-off system, similar to Super League and AFL, culminating in the grand final at Leigh Sports Village in Leigh, Greater Manchester, home of Championship sides Leigh Centurions and Swinton Lions. Unlike the Super League playoffs, there is no Club Call in week three. |
